A section of Wa in Upper West

Dear Admin, How was your Day, I hope this message gets to you in good faith. I was a very young, vibrant and energetic girl but the trauma I faced back at home pushed me into the incomprehensible, growing up, my mother did almost everything, my dad lost his job as a driver because he mistakenly used his vehicle on a student resulting in his death, he was banned from driving and resorted to a motorking for us to make ends meet, my mom is a trader and I assisted her in her business, as a result I was so used to money to the extend that I easily got influenced by it, I touched money frequently and spent some money as a result, I got used to it.

In 2017, some worker travelled to Wa on a contract to work on a ‘Melcom’ Structure close to the Dodoo Street, I became close to him and we kept talking, he said he was from the Ashanti Region and wanted to Marry me, when he comes home from work he gives me money because they were well paid, he used to earn up to Ghc200 daily and gave me Ghc50 out of it, I discussed with my mom and she saw it to be a good relationship, she said the man was kind and can take care of me so I stepped into his will and we started foreplay, at a point I was thinking of nailing him down with a pregnancy in order to make this last longer, based on that, I gave that danger moments to him and got pregnant, I told him of the development neither was he sad nor did he celebrate, all he said was that we were going to be parents soon.

One faithful evening he told me his manager Demanded thy travel to Upper East to check on some projects and that he will be spending two days there. He gave me Ghc300 to take care of myself for the two days till he returns. I wished him safe journey and he left the following day. On Day one, I called to find out if he had arrived safely and he affirmed after 6hours that they had arrived in Bolga. I was happy and urged him to take good care of himself, he agreed, the next day I called and his line could not be reached, few minutes later I tried and it wasn’t going through. I waited for his call without a feedback. Three days went by and no feedback, it got to a month, his line wasn’t going through, by then I was to put to bed in 25 days, this got me worried, I consulted my mom and she urged me not to think too much because I was pregnant, I held myself down till I delivered a baby girl. No father to give her a name, no father to stand by me, my dad took it up to give the child a name in order to camouflage the embarrassment I would receive.

It’s been Six years today and I haven’t received a call, his phone number no longer exists ‘the number you’ve failed does not exist, please check the number and dial again’, I don’t know his whereabout, his family or relatives. Life can be incongruous.
